Description: At least one in seven people are thought to be neurodivergent. So what exactly is neurodiversity? What does 'executive functioning mean? What are 'spiky profiles'? In this simple guide expert speaker and trainer Daniel Aherne provides a clear introduction to neurodiversity and the four most common neurodivergent identities of autism ADHD dyslexia and dyspraxia. Using an analogy of a cactus needing a desert to grow in he emphasises the importance of getting the environment right for neurodivergent people rather than expecting them to adapt to the neurotypical world. Daniel who himself has ADHD also explains how neurodivergent people often have great strengths alongside areas of difficulty and writes about the interplay between diagnoses as well as unpacking tricky concepts such as working memory sensory processing communication differences and more. Busting common misconceptions and setting out simple tips and guidance for supporting the neurodivergent people around you whether among your family friends or at your school college or workplace - or if you yourself are ND and want to improve the understanding of others - this essential guide will help us all celebrate neurodiversity and foster more inclusive communities.
